Audit & accounting basis
From AI-extracted PDF accounts
- Accounting basis
- FRS 102
- Reporting scope
- Standalone (parent only)
- Auditor
- Hart Shaw LLP
- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.”
Significant events
- “Hallam Express Lld moved to new premises in quarter 4 2023, this move meant that we could offer storage and distribution to a much wider market. 2024 has seen the demand for storage increasing at a fast-moving pace, our ability to offer transport and distribution via both our general haulage fleet or via our affiliated pallet networks has meant that we have been able to increase turnover by 17% and fill our warehousing facility to capacity 6 months earlier than we had anticipated.”
